There are plenty of things to live for, but that’s not even the point. There is a difference between choosing to be social and having to be social because you will get depressed if you aren’t. I think this need for social interaction is harmful. We did see this in action during the COVID pandemic. So many people who weren’t able to abide by a short lockdown. Lives were lost due to our pathological need for social interaction. Imagine how many communicable deceases we could eliminate by simply having a 3 month lockdown every other year. | ||||||||

You don't go far enough, every flu season should be lockdown and social distancing protocol should be followed on pain of death. | ||||||||
